of Trade and the local Kinsmen 
Club have plans laid on fora 
Christenas treat deal for the kiddies 
in the Lions hall on Saturday after- 
noon, December 21st. 

Good old St. Nick will be handing 
out the treate at the Lions hall 
from 1 o'clock until 2:30 and then 
the wee ones are going to be invited

Farmer Supports Hail Suppression 


Editor, The Pioneer, 
Dear Sir:- 


Would you please allow me some | 


space in your paper to present “One 
Man’s Opinion” concerning Hail 
Suppression. I would lke to pre- 


sent a few facts and figures to show 
Suppression is 


If a farmer has a quarter section 
of oats yielding 60 bushels per acre, 
the total value would be approxi- 
mately $3,295, based on the present 
price of 42%c per bushel. After 
deducting a total cost for harvest 
expenses of $624, based on 166 
acres at $4.00 per acre, the farmer 
would have left a net harvest of 


how valuable Hail 


to the farmer. 


$2,671. 


The cast of Hail Suppression on 
one quarter seotion is $25. There- 
fore, if Hai! Suppression saves one 
crop, the farmer would have saved 
enough money for Hail Suppression 


for 106.5 years for a quarter sec- 
tion, Or, if the $2,671 saved were 
loaned out at 6%, the farmer 
could pay the Hail Suppression 
dues on six quarters ‘till the end of 
ume 

However, if the farmer decides to 
insure his crop for $21 an acre, 
which is the value received from 
the average crop mentioned above, 
the cost would be $3.78 per acre. 
Therefore, to insure 66 acres 
would cost the equivalent of Hail 
Suppression on one-quarter section 
of land. 

Surely it is plain to see that it is 
more logical to take a chance on 
Hail Suppression than to insure 
and have no hope whatsoever ot! 
suppressing that hard “white stuff." 
I was completely hailed out last 
year but I'm still willing to vote in 
favoy of suppression for 1958. 


Thank you for your time and 
space, with the hope that these 
humble examples will make the 


farmers think seriously in favor of 
Hail Suppression. 
Yours very truly, 
HERMAN DAGEFORDE

FALLOUT — LIVESTOCK 

How wil) fallout affect unprocet- 
@d livestock: that is animals in 
fields, pastures and other open 
areas? 

Fallout may be dangerous to 
cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and 
other livestock, as well as to human 
beings. Animals can suffer skin 
burns if fallout settles in the coat. 
If animals drink fallout in their 
water or eat it in pasture grass or 
commercial feed, the radiation may 
cause serious internal injuries. Ex- 
ternal radiation or surface contam- 
ination emits rays capable of pene- 
trating deep into the body and may 
result in total body exposure. 

If you receive ample warning that 
fallout is coming, you can take cer- 
tain precautions to protect your

and reduce losses. But 
once fallout occurs, you should not 
attempt to protect livestock unless 
Civil Defence officials tell you that 
it ts safe to do so. 

How Will Fallout Affect 

Sheltered Livestock? 

Livestock housed in barns = and 
other farm buildings during fall- 
out stand a better chance of surviv- 
ing the effects of radiation than 
those that are not sheltered. A 
reasonably well-built shelter pre- 
vents fallout from settling on the 
animal's bodies and may reduce the 
intensity of external radiation. It 
also protects the animals’ eating 
contaminated food. 

What Is The Best Way To 
Protect Livestock From Fallout? 


Move them indoors as soon as 
possible, and keep them off con- 
taminated feed and water. If you 
do not have adequate facilities to 
house livestock, put them near 
buildings, in a yard, or in a tree- 
sheltered field. 

Get your dairy cattle under cover 
first. If they eat fallout, or drink 
it in water, some of the radioactive 
material wil) be in their manure 
and urine, and some will be in their 
milk.

Did you know there 
are more than 10,000 
people engaged in 
the search for oil in 
Canada? We know it, 
because we run into 
plenty of them each

know it, because our

to stay ahead of the

lower cost. 


Did you know 
Canada's oil 
companies employ 
thousands of

their products? We 
know it, because 
every day our own

competing with 
salesmen from other 
companies.

LABOR CONCERNED 
OVER FARMERS’ DILEMMA 


Labor leaders in Canada are 
seriously concerned over the econ- 
omic effects of the drastic drop in 
the past year in farm income. In 
their annual brief to the federal. 
cabinet, presented recently at Ot- | 
tawa, the Canadian Congress of | 
, Labor had this to say: 

“We are alarmed by the drastic 
fall in farm income. This ts bad 
for the farm people, most of whom 
,are far from rich, and who still 
| make up one-sixth of the Canadian 
| population. 

It is bad for economy generally, 
which is still heavily dependent on 
jexports, of whiei farm products 
make up about one-quarter. It is 
also bad for Canadian workers, for 
whose products a prosperous agri- 
culture would provide a substantial 
market, 

Canadian labor will fully support

Don’t you think it’s time something was done 
about the parking style on the “main stem”, from the 
bank corner to the telephone office? Parallel parking 
on at least one side of the street could be the answer! 


On a busy afternoon it's nigh on the impossible to! 


squeeze two moving cars thru the narrow path left in 


the centre of the road. With the new parking area: 


and a few well placed signs, the danger of accidents 
would be greatly pase 


Just For The Record ... 


A Didsbury youth was handed a heavy fine in 
Calgary police court one day last week for driving on 
the highway at a speed in excess of 100 miles an hour 
— we understand the ticket read $200 and costs, with 
suspension of his driver's licence for six months. For 
that six-month period he'll have to be a co-pilot in any 
motor vehicle in which he climbs into. Was the pen- 
alty stiff enough when you think of the innocent per- 
sons who could have been killed or maimed in the 
mad race. We wonder! We certainly hope that as a 
passenger he will pick up a few pointers on how to 
handle the modern menaces.

Christmas is coming, "tis 
plain to see, 

The folks around here are 
so nice to me; 

My slippers are put by 
the fire with care, 

Right alongside of my 
favorite easy chair. 


My pipe and tobacco are 
put by my side, 

When I come in from work 
at eventide; 

My reading glasses are 
polished up bright, 

So I can read almost 
without the lamp light. 


The mail order catalogue 
is opened up wide, 

At the page where fur coats 
are made out of hides; 

‘Tis as plain as the nose 
on my face to see 

What the wife is expecting 
this Christmas from me. 


Another catalogue is open, 
where there's presents for all, 
Some beautiful dresses for 
party or ball; 
The right size is there 
for our little girl, 
Maybe she’s old enough 
to go out for a whirl, 


Another open catalogue that’s 
| off to one side, 

Shows new bicycles that would 
be any boy's pride; 

There's none so blind as they 
that won't see; 

I think this old saying 
will apply to me. 


A pair of striped socks 
at the bottom of the page, 
Which are suitable for men 
of any old age; 
These are marked with a 
red cross I can see 
And I'll bet that’s what they're 
getting for grandpappy. 


I think that I'll fool ‘em 
this Christmas time 

And buy them some books 
that just cost a dime, 

So that we can all sit and read 
when the work is done, 

About why they call father 
the old son-of-a-gun.

The hearts of Christmas through- 
out the world are dwelling during 
this sacred season upon the won- 
drous story of that first Christmas 
Eve. And what a_ resplendent 
spectacle is unfolded before our 
wondering eyes in the simple 
language of that story. Lowly 
shepherds in shepherd's garb — 
dumbfounded, stupefied, bewild- 
ered: they form the first Christmas 
audience. An angel of God, in all 
the glory and brilliance of heaven, 
is the first Christmas messenger. A 
choiy of angels’ voices the first 
Christmas chorus. 

To help you find that joy of 
Christmas, the Redeemer Lutheran 
Church of Didsbury invites you to 
attend the special Christmas serv- 
ices arranged for this season. The 
children’s Christmas service will be 
held on Tuesday, Dec, 24 beginning 
at 8 p.m. In word and song they 
will bring you the age-old story of 
“Peace On Earth.” The program 
is entitled: “The Meaning of 
Christmas.” 

On Christmas day, Dec. 25, at 11 
a.m., Redeemer will conduct its 
regulary Christmas _ service. To 
fully appreciate the blessings you 
and I enjoy as ai result of this 


glorious event, we need but ask! 


ourselves the question: 


“What would be our plight if | 


there had been no Christmas?" For 
thousands of years man had groan- 
ed under the lash of the most cruel 
taskmaster — the Prince of Dark- 
ness, ‘Then suddenly, the heavens 
were torn asunder with the en- 
thralling message: “Unto you is 


born a Savior.” The ransom had 


arrived, 

What a glorious festival, this 
Christmas. What a glorious mes- 
sage, this Gospel. What a glorious 
Savior, this Christ. Come, share it 
with us.

Occasionally we find it expedient 
to point out that a local weekly 
newspaper is called on to give free

community activities which are 
promoted for the general good. 
This ig given freely as a contribu- 
tion and a help to those promoting 
such activities. 

Yet we find that such free pub- 
licity is often taken for granted 
with no thought given to the fact

the type and place it in the paper,

much value from an advertising 
standpoint, and surprisingly few 
people who ask for free publicity

Christmas Time Is Candy Time 

And what a perfect eft too - | 
those chocolatey brown, or blond, 
and carmels and crunchy nut brit- | 
tles. 

Here's How For Perfect Fudge - 

For Fudge that’s smooth and 
creamy not grainy and cnystalized: 

1, Use a heavy saucepan. Butter 
sides so sugar grains won't cling. 

2. Stir fudge until boiling point 
and until all the eugar is dissolved. 

3. A candy thermometer is very 
handy (there’s a hint for Santa). 
Be sure bulb is below surface of | 
liquid. Read carefully. Cook to, 
exact temperature and remove im- | 
mediately. | 

Or; Use the cold water test - Be | 
; sure cup is large and water is icy, 
| cold. 
; 4. Cool fudge to 110 deg. F or 
until pan is comfortably warm. 
Drop butter on top but do not atir. | 
Even a little jar of the pan may 
Start those pesky crystals at this 
stage. 

6. Once fudge has cooled, beat 
vigerously (you may need a helper 
to “spell you off") 

6. When fudge seems to stiffen 
and lose it’s gloss, push out quickly 
onto buttered pan (add nuts at 
thig point also.) 

Good luck Mrs. Santa! 


Christmas Time Is Candle Time 

Nothing suggests the warm cheery 
mood of the Christmas season like 
the glow of candle-light. Candles | 
are a part of our Christmas tradi- 
ion, but do be careful that they | 
don’t become a Christmas tragedy | 
in your home. Keep them away) 
from the Christmas tree and other | 
flammable decorations. | 

Here's How For Frosty 
Christmas Candles 

You will need some ordinary 
paraffin wax or old candles; some 
heavy white string, empty tin cans 
and for decorations: snow, sequins, 
holly, stars, ete. 

Cut the top rim from the tin 
cans with tin snips (makes it 
easier to remove candles). Met 
paraffin or old candles over hot 
water. Dip the white cord and al- 
low it to harden for the wick. Pour | 
the melted wax into your moulds, | 
insert wick when the wax has par- | 
tially set. Allow candles to harden. 
Unmould as you would a jelly 
mould by dipping in hot water. 

Spread thickly over the candles 
and sprinkle with glitter or stars.

Past Year Difficult | 
For Farmers 


A. W. Platt, in his presidential | 


Union annual convention last week, 


“a difficult one.” 

“While net farm income may | 
slightly exceed that of 1956, and I 
doubt if it will,” sald Mr. Platt, “it 
has been achieved by greater pro- 
duction, Farm costs continue to 
rise, farm prices decline, 

"This unnecessary privation am- 
ongst farm people must cease. If 
it does not, we will inevitably drag 
down the rest of the econommy to 
our level, and depression will re- 
sult.” 

During the week 150 resolutions 
were debated. They coveerd a wide 
vange of topics, including federal 
and provincial legislation. wheat 
and livestock marketing problems 
and constitutional amendments.

FIRST TB HOSPITAL 
ESTABLISHED IN 1840 


The first hospital for the care of 
tuberculosis was opened in England 
by Dr. George Bodington in 1840. 
He maintained, with good food and 
fresh air (provided the patient was 
kept warm) many patients would 
recover from “consumption” as it 
was then called. His idea was ridi- 
culed to such an extent that he was 
forced to close his hospital. It 
was nearly 20 years before another 
sanatorium for the treatment of 
tuberculosis opened in Germany — 
and it stayed open!

This week will see students taking 
leave for the vacation, and already 
many of them are doing some pack- 
ing. They want to go home, for 
that is the place where families 
meet at this time of year; gifts will 
be exchanged and happy events 
transpire. We wish each student 
the most joyous Christmas possible. 
We know they will all be eager to 
return and be in class on Decem-

partment presented a recital of 
some of ite students in the chapel 
of the college. Those participating

tions. The piano teacher, Mr. La-

dents, Miss Elaine Wolfe, ended 


to the dining room where lunch 
was served, and a few additional 
musical numbers rendered. The 
evening was greatly appreciated 
and the teachers to be commended 
on their work. Mr. Carpenter in- 
structs in voice; Mrs. D. M. Taylor 
is teacher of organ, and Lavern 
Traub of piano. Miss Helen Swalm 
teaches two students in addition to 
her younger group which she has 
each year. 

President Taylor was guest spea- 
ker at Chapel in Canadian Nazar-

has been a wholesome relationship 
between the College for many years, 
and we appreciate the privilege our 
president has had in 
service for them.

for the college and we appreciate 
Greatly what they have done for

The College Christmas party will
